Jury is still deliberating
April 21, 2023

I'm new to the process of being under the microscope to prove I'm me, but in today's world, this service is needed for security for true. Simple, fast, professional and personable. I'm still waiting on the IRS but they reviewed and accepted the documentation provided by ID me. Well done and thanks

April 21, 2023

I was in a rush to get the IRS pin and thinking it would take days or even weeks to get verification for the pin, NOPE! Took about 10mins thanks to ID.ME.
Thank you so much for a quick and wonderful experience.

Cumbersome and faulty.
May 21, 2023

Smart phone process of verification was faulty. I was denied verification 4 times with no explanation. In the meantime my personal information and photos of my ID and passport were submitted. Where did they go? It was a frustrating experience. Skip the "fast" smart phone way and save yourself hours of frustration. The video agent method was long, but at least a human being was available to speak to me.

Excellent video chat!
April 21, 2023

After our returns (e-filed) were rejected 3 times, I was desperate to get them correct — and I was tired and cranky. The agent on the video chat was pleasant and very helpful. Problem fixed, ID checked, and voila! Return accepted! Great service, thanks!

Totally didn't expect this.
April 21, 2023

I totally did not expect dealing with the government website that it would go so quick so easy everything was very self-explanatory when they told you to have certain documents you have to have it everything went really quick and fast even had to speak to an agent.they give you a little bit of time whenever you submit your documents to verify yourself they say like two to three days till they get back to you but mine was like the very next day and then from there as long as you are doing it quickly then they're even quicker so it's very simple very to the point and the overall experience was great
